Hello,
I've compiled kernel 2.3.99-pre3 today, enabling DMA, etc. I have a
DFI motherboard which has a Apollo Pro Plus chipset (which supports
DMA66), and a Western Digital Caviar HD (15.3 gb), which also support
DMA66... But although my BIOS tells me that it's possible to use
DMA/66 with this HD, Linux doesn't seem to be using it. Below is what
I get at startup (hda is the HD capable of DMA/66). So, my question
is... Is UDMA/66 supported in Linux today? If not, could it be that
it'll soon be? If it is... Then what else would I have to do?
I tried some FAQS and Howtos, and also a web search, but only found
vague references to it... Some people saying they were not able to
use DMA/66...
Thanks,
J.
